    Translation

    Like a dream. Fabian still not quite believe the fact that it was signed by the Boston Red Sox, a Major League Baseball who is on television since I started to like the story of baseball, back when I was eight, not knowing that one ten years later it would begin to build this road.

    When a player signs a professional team, it is a legal act in which the team sports rights acquired under the Indenture, and from there begins a process that shape the future club professional ballplayer to finally integrate MLB team.

    So Fabian go to Dominican Republic, heading to depart this October 6 after the dream of becoming a professional category with the Red Sox.

    To get here, this baseball player had to give their own fly balls to the difficulty and make the road by walking, playing with Selection Valley since age 14, when he went to live in El Cerrito, Valle, to Palmyra, the municipality that was born 18 years ago.

    Since then, it has never left home at all, but neither has missed his perseverance. At home, in which 11 people live, her mother, Yolanda Garcia, is the engine of encouragement to the three children in the family: Carlos Andres, John Miller and Fabian Andres, all baseball lovers from Fabian started the process for be signed by a team, at age 15.

    ...

    Fabian, who is third base or infielder

    ...

    In Fabian's house, baseball was not very well at first. The little athlete just was 8 when he met 'the sport of hot ball' in the midst of physical education classes in school José Celestino Mutis of El Cerrito, and after a couple of invitations to play for the school team, Fabian then chose to stay to play every evening, as until now it has always done.

    Doña Yolanda, her mother did not believe that his love for baseball was to prosper, but neither walked away from the sport. Now, with the passage of time, she is the best motivator that has Fabián Andrés to persevere in the sport, she says is of patience and dedication, as at age 14 does evening after evening, after leaving study for dressing of cap and glove and placed at third base.

    In honor of all the effort that made his mother to bring up the home, Fabian made a promise that expects to meet soon, the of giving a house with the first earnings to give you professional baseball, now playing with the team of your choice .

    ...

    Nieva can hit so well with the left and to the right, and to catch the ball at third base is strong right profile, powers that make a player multifunctional, fast and effective in both at-bats and reception and launch.

    ...

    A month ago, Nieva got the call to integrate youth Colombia national team compete in the World category in Chinese Taipei, where the tricolor was not his best performance, even if the vallecaucano was one of the best hitters in the national team.

    During the championship, Nieva was observed by entrepreneurs of the great teams of professional baseball, and highlighted as in Cali already did with your profile ambidextrous, bat their power and effectiveness of his pitches.

    Arriving in Cali, Fabián Andrés Nieva Garcia was called to stamp his name on the contract between him and the Boston Red Sox for the next few years with a vocational training program in Dominican Republic and with the option of linking to the Major Leagues .

    So this October 6 will leave the Central American country with the illusion stronger than ever to fulfill his dream, to get to the majors in one of the best teams, like Boston Red Sox, which already were their compatriots Jackie Gutierrez, Edgar Renteria and Orlando Cabrera.

    So.... from the spanglish there... switch hitting third baseman?
    If history tells us anything, the path to redeption for any bad baseball team is marked with a deep rotation of durable starters, a world class defense in both infield and outfield, a lineup that can generate runs in more than one way, a bullpen that won't steal defeat from the jaws of victory, and a top end catcher to hold the whole package together. These are the conditions by which victory is achieved, anything that does not accomplish these objectives is a waste of resources.
